In Response To: Well said (Grady)

: I think that was a well-constructed essay on the shortcomings of Halo 2. I
: have to say that I've mostly come to terms with the problems of the game.
: The only thing I think is inexcusable is the ending. The continuation of
: the story was what I was most looking forward to, and I feel I was cheated
: of that.

: When Halo 3 comes out, I'm going to wait for a synopsis of the story. When I
: know what I'd be buying, I'll decide whether I want to buy the game or
: just wait for the novel instead.

Overall, it is a good game... its just very cut and paist... I mean... its like bungie hands you a gun and pushes you in a strait line, and at the end of that line is a cliff... you fall off the cliff...

Dont get me wrong, I was loving every minute of it, and at first, the 'rushness' of the levels made it feal like I had to hurry, like it was life or death, and sometimes it wasn't even my life, but the lives of those still on Earth...

Its just when the ending came up, I had my guns raised and had taken a running leap for the new level only to run full speed/headlong into an invisable wall and fall down into the abyss...

at first I was too shocked to think, then I was pissed, then I grudgingly accepted it, and then I got on XBL and was very happy for a while...

Then the 'find a random game' thing pissed me off... or the, lag made me die, that shogun was in his damn face... then it was, "where the hell? up the wall!?"

overall, its a solid 9... that thats all people really have to say... its a good game, but it tugs at your heart at how close it was to perfection, and you had to take it down a notch from that golden 10 spot...
